[edit] Appearance

Giratina is a giant, dragon-like Pokémon, with an appearance similar to that of a large sauropod. It has six legs, gold protrusions that look like external ribs, and golden horns on its head.Its neck has 5 red stripes and 4 black stripes.On its back,it has a black stripe pattern that extends to its legs.Additionally, it has bat-like great wings of shadow with red claws on the wingtips.

[edit] Special Abilities

Like Palkia and Dialga, it has a signature move called Shadow Force, which hits the opponent without fail even if the foe uses Protect or Detect.

When in its Origin Forme, it retains its phenomenal amounts of HP, like any other Pokémon that is in their alternate formes, and it focuses on more offensive moves, and less on the defensive moves. It switches its Attack and Special Attack stats with its Another Forme, making it a great powerhouse. It is also a vastly powerful Pokémon that can use these benefits to fit the trainer's focus on attacking.

It will become Origin Forme when in the Distortion World, or when holding the Griseous Orb, which can be found in a secret part of the Distortion World that can only be entered through a portal in Turnback Cave (The portal will only open if you catch Giratina in the Distortion World)

Also is a god pokemon.

[edit] Anime

Giratina has a large role in the 11th Pokémon movie, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, where it tries to attack on Dialga and Palkia for polluting its dimension with their earlier battles. However, later on it is captured by Zero and nearly killed after he tries to absorb its powers. Giratina is rescued by Ash and his friends, with help from Shaymin.
